Pastor Vance Rosete:

Rev. Vance Ali'i Rosete was born and raised on the beautiful island of Maui by his parents, Valentine "Tino" Sr. and Winona "Nona" Rosete, with his three brothers: Vince "Buddy", Valentine "Tino" Jr., Vinton, and his sister, Venus.
Rev. Vance is a dedicated and committed husband and father, married for over 17 years. "Commitment" is the word he gives to those newly-wed couples; for it is through commitment, that love can be validated.
Rev. Vance started in the wedding industry as a musician. He knew he had been called by God to enter the ministry. In 1999 he was ordained as a minister of the Gospel, and became an associate Pastor of Harvest Chapel, Church of God.
Later, Rev. Vance ventured out and started his own, non-denominational, Christian ministry, and New Passion Ministries was born. In November of 2002, New Passion Ministries began a church, where family and friends gathered to worship God.
Rev. Vance feels so honored and blessed to have been given the privilege to join two people, before God, in Holy Matrimony. Although he has performed hundreds of Wedding Ceremonies and Vow Renewals, he sees each one as being unique and special. Each and every ceremony he performs is truly sincere and heart-felt. He can make the most nervous grooms and brides feel comfortable with his warm and gentle spirit. He is ... "Aloha".
In December of 2003, Rev. Vance, his wife Cameo, and his children, moved to Alaska. After approximately 2 years, and the passing of his Beloved Mom (September 13, 2005), he is returning home to continue the work that God has created him to do, through New Passion Ministries. His desire is to live his life in service to his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He also hopes to honor his mother, who always encouraged him in the Faith; to trust in God, and to never give up. Though he misses her deeply, he is assured that one day they will be together again... forever in Paradise.
"...In this life, I was loved by you."

Our Warmest Mahalo,
Pastor Vance

Rev. Tino Rosete:

Born and raised on the beautiful island of Maui, Rev. Valentine (Tino) Rosete truly
represents the spirit of Aloha.
Tino, having been ordained through New Passion Ministries and having been a dedicated
family man for many years, has built his life upon a foundation of love and devotion that
is matched only by his commitment to providing the most heart-felt wedding ceremonies.
Whether presiding over a large ceremony or simply joining a couple in matrimony on a
secluded beach, Tino approaches every interaction with the individual attention and
respect that it deserves. And though he’s married hundreds of happy couples with his
Hawaiian Non-Denominational Christian ceremonies, he continues to treat every new
ceremony as a new chance to pour his sincerity and passion into every word he speaks.
Tino feels truly blessed to do what he does, and he derives no greater pleasure than in
the sharing of his faith and his Aloha spirit.
